योगमेकान्तशीलस्तु यथा विन्दति तच्छूणु । दृष्टपूर्वां दिश॑ चिन्त्य यस्मिन् संनिवसेत् पुरे
yogam ekāntaśīlas tu yathā vindati tac chṛṇu | dṛṣṭapūrvāṃ diśaṃ cintya yasmin saṃnivased pure ||
The Brāhmaṇa said: “Listen to how one who is devoted to solitude attains Yoga. Having reflected on a direction already known and tested, let him take up residence in a city where he can live steadily (for practice).”
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Yoga is to be attained through disciplined practice supported by solitude and deliberate choice of a suitable, familiar place to live—emphasizing stability, reflection, and intentional environment.
A Brāhmaṇa speaker begins instructing the listener on the practical method of attaining Yoga, advising reflection on an already known direction/region and settling in an appropriate town for sustained practice.
